Investing.com -- Indian investors lost over Rs. 2 lakh crore as the Nifty and BSE Sensex fell by 1.51% and 1.56% respectively on a day marked by profit booking. The cumulative market cap of BSE-listed companies came down to Rs 172.6 lakh crore on November 25 from Rs. 174.82 lakh crore on November 24 when both benchmark indices touched record highs. That’s a total loss of Rs. 2.2 lakh crore.

Profit booking was led by realty, pharma, and banking sectors that lost 2.25%, 2.07%, and 1.82% respectively. Eicher Motors (NS: EICH ) (down 3.72%) led the fall on Nifty, followed by Axis Bank (NS: AXBK ) (down 3.44%), Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. (NS: KTKM ) (down 2.97%), Sun Pharma (NS: SUN ) (down 2.53%), and Bajaj Finance (NS: BJFN ) (down 2.43%).

ONGC (NS: ONGC ) led the troop of eight stocks that gained today, moving up by 5.91%, followed by GAIL (NS: GAIL ) at 1.95%. The NSE mid-cap and small-cap indices have also fallen by 1.41% and 0.89% respectively.

European markets have opened lower while Dow Futures are also indicating a downward trend at the time of this report. The global rally in stocks cools, but the one in oil continues.  Crude oil prices are up 1.27% to $45.47 and gold is still keeping its head over the $1,800 range with a gain of 0.21% to $1,808.3.

The ECB warns that the banking situation in the eurozone isn't as good as third-quarter reports might have you believe. Plus it's a heavy data day as the U.S. moves up all of Thursday's usual releases to Wednesday because of Thanksgiving. Topping the bill - weekly jobless claims and revised data for third-quarter GDP.
